Carey,
I understand that. But I am questioning whether patches that were not
cumulative in SP2, ie MS05-015, which are applied as SP1 but also require
patching as SP2. FedEx Ground does not allow WU or use WUS, but distributes
with SMS 2.0. The base of the question is if the patch needs to be
redistributed in its SP2 form if a PC is service packed or is the SP1 patch
still maintaining the patch state.
